Aluzinc Eave Cap
Reinforced Roof Edge Protection with Superior Water Control.
At Modern Roofing & More, our Aluzinc eave caps are precision-formed to integrate seamlessly with modern roofing systems for both residential and commercial projects.
The Aluzinc Eave Cap is a specialized roofing accessory installed at the lower edge of the roof to reinforce and seal the transition between roofing sheets and the fascia area. It provides enhanced structural support, water control, and finishing strength where the roof begins.
Manufactured from premium AZ150 Aluminium–Zinc (Aluzinc) coated steel, the eave cap delivers long-term durability, corrosion resistance, and structural integrity suitable for Ghana’s heavy rainfall and coastal humidity conditions.
Why Aluzinc is Superior for Eave Trim
Compared to ordinary galvanized accessories, Aluzinc offers:
Superior corrosion resistance
Longer lifespan
Better performance in humid and coastal areas
Enhanced heat reflectivity
Reduced maintenance costs
This makes it ideal for Ghana’s:
Heavy rainy seasons
Coastal salt exposure
High humidity
Intense solar radiation
Primary Functions of an Eave Cap.
1. Strengthens the Roof Edge
The eave cap reinforces the lower roof edge, reducing sheet movement and improving resistance to wind uplift.
2. Enhances Water Direction
It supports proper water flow into the gutter system, minimizing:
Water backflow
Fascia board damage
Structural moisture penetration
3. Seals the Roof-Structure Transition
The eave cap protects vulnerable transition points between roofing sheets and structural components such as:
Trusses
Wall plates
Fascia boards
4. Improves Structural Stability
By reinforcing the roof’s starting edge, the eave cap contributes to overall roofing system integrity and longevity.
Material Composition – AZ150 Standard
Our Aluzinc eave caps are produced from high-grade steel coated with an advanced Aluminium–Zinc alloy.
Aluzinc Coating Composition:
55% Aluminium (Al)
43.4% Zinc (Zn)
1.6% Silicon (Si)
Coating Mass:
AZ150 (150g/m² total coating both sides)
Thickness Range:
Typically matches roofing sheets (0.40mm – 0.50mm)
This alloy structure provides:
Aluminium → Long-term corrosion resistance
Zinc → Active sacrificial edge protection
Silicon → Strong coating adhesion and durability
